- A repository of additional data related to packages that is not included in the standard package format - such as;
- Screenshots
- Iconography
- Localizations
- User-feedback
- A user interface to manipulate the additional data.
- A mechanism to vend this additional data to HaikuDepot, a desktop application for managing packages.
